The BioEd Online initiative at the Baylor College of Medicine has distinguished itself over the past few years by offering up lesson plans, slide sets, presentations, and other classroom materials for biology teachers and the generally curious. One of the recent additions to the site is "Genes, Health and Society," an online course designed for undergraduate students, classroom educators, and other life-long learners. The course is divided into three sections: "Transmission Genetics," "The Nature of Genetic Material," and "Medical Genetics." Each section offers a variety of active learning experiences, including self-assessment questions and problems. Visitors are welcome to take one or two of the sections, and all they need to do is complete a free registration for access to all materials.
